Chris Dubbs

Everything you need to know about home smoking! In Smoking Food, Chris Dubbs and Dave Heberle assure us that smoking is an art, not a science, and they fearlessly reveal that art's essentials—and how simple they can be. They explain how to choose the best fuels (you can use corncobs!), how to build smokers from old refrigerators and cardboard boxes, and, of course, how to smoke everything from turkeys to turtles. Their advice is as ingenious and cost-conscious as any given by Alton Brown. Aware of the needs and wants of the modern cook, they include low-sodium preparations, alternatives to preservatives like sodium nitrite, and thoughts on safely handling meat. Recipes include: Slow-smoked salmon Hot-smoked shrimp Pastrami Country-style bacon Wine-marinated rabbit Firecan turkey Summer sausage Smoked cheese Smoked nuts Jerky Chowders Stuffing Vegetables And more! With more than one hundred recipes and tips for making brines, marinades, cheeses, appetizers, soups, and main dishes, Smoking Food is an invaluable resource for the home smoker.

The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

Smoking Food

For many, nothing is quite as mouthwatering as a glazed smoked ham or a side of perfectly smoked salmon. Smoking has long been favored by connoisseurs and laymen alike as an inexpensive way to give foods that extra zest. But questions persist: "How long do you smoke for? What's the best type of wood to use? What's the difference between cold and hot smoking?" All the answers are in this ultimate how-to guide. Whatever the food or the type of smoker (electric or wooden), there's a detailed description that even beginners will easily follow. With useful troubleshooting tips, advice on herbs and spices, and over 30 recipes (including the author's legendary Swiss Steak and Smoked Crabmeat), this handy book transforms smoking into an art.
